...product of this collaboration helmed by director Pete Docter and executive director John Lasseter (the respective comedic visionary and honorary Oscar-winner behind both sensational Toy Stories) is a hilarious expose of boogeymen and other things-that-go-bump-in-the-night, animated with classic Disney style mixed with the best of Tim Burton. It’s Beauty and the Beast meets The Nightmare Before Christmas in a quirky film that features first-class entertainment...
...recurring girlfriend who has a voice and personality like Audrey in Little Shop Of Horrors and hair like Medusa.

I hope the border guard gets lucky: it might allow those schoolkids to grow up without training their sights on real U.S. fighter jets...

What appeared to be a cheap plastic toy megaphone in her hands soon made its powers known, as it emitted an awful, shrieking distortion of her voice. All of the band’s frantic, manic energy seemed to be channeled into her, as she dove or dizzingly spun into the audience on several occasions...
